ESL CS:GO GROUP STAGE: PLAYDAY 1 & 2 RECAP

ESL Southeast Europe Championship is live and the first two playdays of its main season have been completed. Four out of eight group stage teams rushed into the battlefield, in order to secure those valuable three points, willing to climb at the top of the ladder.

GREAT PERFORMANCES AND GOOD FIGHTS

The first day was full of action, close battles and a whole lot of highlights. Unfortunately, Windingo Gaming secured their first three points pretty easily, since Nexus Gaming were not able to compete. Right after that, HyperioN e-Sports fought against Psychoactive. HyperioN came up victorious, despite the fact that Psychoactive put up a good fight. They won both maps, 16:8 and 16:13, and walked away with their first three-pointer.

Day two kicked off with a close battle between Nexus Gaming and HyperioN e-Sports. Nexus were in control of both games, capitalizing on their experience at the stage. HyperioN’s passion and competitiveness were not enough eventually since they have been forced to their first defeat. Your reigning Champions secured both maps, 16:12 and 16:11 and claimed second place, alongside HyperioN e-Sports.

Playday #2 concluded, with the clash of Psychoactive against Windigo Gaming. Psychoactive fought hard at the first map, but Windigo were stronger and came up ahead (16:12). Game two seemed a “smitch” one-sided. Windigo, having great performance, showed a high level of gameplay and secured map two (16:2). They are now standing at the top of the ladder, with 12 points.

ACTION IS COMING BACK

ESL SEC is coming back this Wednesday and Thursday with more CS:GO action. Nexus are going up against Locastic and Psychoactive, having their eyes set on their first victory, will face SinnerS. On Thursday, Nexus have to bend SinnerS defenses, looking for that first place of the Group stage, and knockout will face HyperioN e-Sports, on their first ever appearance on SEC’s stage.
